Your ride from Alkmaar
A taxi from Alkmaar to Schiphol via Schipholride comes at a fixed all-in price from €85 and takes around 45 minutes off-peak over 51 kilometres. That amount covers everything: VAT, luggage and parking at Schiphol — and there is no night surcharge, so a 06:00 flight costs exactly the same as one at 14:00. You can choose from four classes: Comfort (VW Passat or similar, €85), Premium (Mercedes E-Class or similar, €100), Van for 5 to 8 people (V-Class or similar, €110) and VIP (S-Class or similar, €165). Schipholride is a booking platform: we arrange your ride and line up a screened driver for you. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours in advance, and for a pick-up at Schiphol your flight is tracked live.
From Alkmaar you spend almost the entire journey on the A9: the driver joins the motorway at the Kooimeer interchange on the south side of the city and follows it past Heiloo and Beverwijk, through the Wijkertunnel beneath the North Sea Canal, past the Rottepolderplein interchange near Haarlem to the Badhoevedorp interchange, where the Schiphol exit follows immediately. Off-peak, that puts you outside the departure hall in roughly 45 minutes. The A9 is known for congestion around Rottepolderplein and Badhoevedorp, and the Wijkertunnel too can grind to a halt southbound during the morning rush; between roughly 07:00 and 09:30 the journey can stretch to around 70 minutes. The driver factors this in when planning and, in the event of an incident on the A9, can divert via the A8 and A10 past Zaandam and Amsterdam-West. If you set off off-peak or early in the morning, the route is usually free of delays.
Pick-up in Alkmaar
You are picked up at any address in the municipality of Alkmaar: from the city centre and Alkmaar Zuid to Overdie, Oudorp, Huiswaard, De Mare, Vroonermeer and Daalmeer/Koedijk — all for the same fixed price. Pick-up at Alkmaar station or Alkmaar Noord station is also possible, for instance if you arrive in Alkmaar by train from the wider region and want to switch to your taxi there. Provide your exact address when booking; in the narrow streets of the centre the driver will look for a sensible stopping spot as close to your door as possible.

Pick-up from Schiphol
If you land late in the evening at Schiphol, the A9 usually gets you back to Alkmaar within around 45 minutes — off-peak that route is almost always quiet. Keep an eye out for AZ home matches: around the AFAS Stadion at the Kooimeer interchange it can get busy before and after the game, which can make the final stretch to Zuid or Overdie take a little longer.
Frequently asked questions
What time do I need to be picked up in Alkmaar for an 08:00 morning flight?+
Count on a pick-up around 05:00. The ride takes roughly 45 minutes off-peak, and with a good two hours for check-in and security you will be at the departure hall in plenty of time. Because there is no night surcharge, an early ride like this simply costs the fixed price from €85.
Which route does the taxi take from Alkmaar to Schiphol and how long does it take at rush hour?+
Almost the entire journey runs along the A9: from the Kooimeer interchange through the Wijkertunnel, past Rottepolderplein and Badhoevedorp to the Schiphol exit. Off-peak that takes around 45 minutes; during the morning rush the journey can stretch to around 70 minutes, mainly due to congestion around Rottepolderplein and Badhoevedorp.
Will I also be picked up in Koedijk, De Mare or Vroonermeer, or only in the centre?+
Throughout Alkmaar, so the northern districts such as De Mare, Daalmeer/Koedijk and Vroonermeer too, and on the south side in Overdie and Oudorp. The fixed price applies to every pick-up address within the municipality — being a few kilometres further from the motorway makes no difference to the fare.
Isn't the train from Alkmaar a more logical option to Schiphol?+
There is no direct train: you change along the way, usually at Amsterdam Sloterdijk, and are about 50 minutes en route plus the trip to the station. With a lot of luggage, an early flight or travelling as a party of three or more, a taxi from door to departure hall is often more practical — and per group sometimes cheaper too.
Can I also book a larger car or a business ride from Alkmaar?+
Yes. For groups of 5 to 8 people you book a Van (Mercedes V-Class or similar) for €110 in total. Business travellers from Boekelermeer or Beverkoog often choose Premium (E-Class or similar, €100) or VIP (S-Class or similar, €165); you receive an invoice for your records.
